My God, if my languagecan not tell you at all times that I love you,I want my heart we'll repeattimes as many times as breathing.

It has now become apparent that An Garda Síochána has truly become an agent of the Church considering the message received from a member concerned with the questionable raid perpetrated by nothing short of ass-covering on behalf of Fr White.

A message was received in relation to Detective Sergeant Eamon O'Neill, Detective John McDonnell and Cormac Walsh, and yet again contained false information but it has been notified to our legal representatives due to it being a threat.

We also have traced it back to its issuing IP and will certainly be taking this further!!

Sometimes, officers forget they are meant to uphold the law, not deny it and justice to others.

We here at CW have nothing to hide and would indeed be only too happy to co-operate with those who uphold the law so that does not include An Garda Síochána as has been proven with the email received.

And one thing we do here they may wish to take note of, and try to learn from us - we do not make false accusations!!

Get your facts correct 'officers' before throwing allegations around with the wrong names attached!!!

If it ever needed proving, considering the Ferns Report, Ryan Report and no doubt the forthcoming Dublin Report, the unhealthy link between An Garda Síochána and the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland has been yet again proven.

We here in CW have become aware of the following troubling incident which has been brought to our attention.

On Friday 26th June 2009, the private dwelling of a person who has brought her mis-treatment by Fr Larry White of a parish in Bray County Wicklow, had a visit from An Garda Síochána.

The 'officers' involved, namely Detective Sergeant Eamon O'Neill, Detective John McDonnell and Cormac Walsh, paid a most unwelcome visit to this lady and decided to flash an alleged search warrant (and failed to provide her with a copy thereof - not very lawful one would be of the belief) before proceeding to ransack her home in the search for only god knows what.

They removed 2 computers, old mobile phones belonging to her son, a collection of newspaper clippings, 2 personal notebooks with very private details and some photographs.

No doubt these items were removed in an attempt to intimidate and harass this lady into rescinding her allegations (all well founded) against Fr White who has done grave disservice to the priesthood by his actions and certainly holds sway with such members of the force.

Indeed, it is well known that one of the above named 'officers' attempted to dissuade the lady concerned from furthering any action against Fr White in an almost intimidating manner not so long ago.

The current action is also no doubt an attempt to continue in this manner and certainly considering the matter is before the Circuit Court in less than a months time so one has to wonder if the lawfully (?) obtained material as part of the raid will be passed to Fr White and his 'legal' team in an attempt to prevent the truth from coming out.

In the course of their raid, reference was made to this site by the 'officers' so it is nice to know we are being monitored are indeed the telephones of the lady concerned and some clergy with whom she has reason to communicate.

Also, reference was made in a rather unprofessional manner (well it is An Garda Síochána after all!!) towards a priest who was disparaged by the 'officers' and in that regard may we take the opportunity to point them to the following which no doubt will be brought to their attention at some stage -

Dominus Iesus

This Declaration of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was signed and published by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) in August of the same year.

In this Declaration, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the validity of Orders and Sacraments of other Catholic denominations.

"These Churches which, while not existing in perfect communion with the (Roman) Catholic Church, remain united to her by means of the closest bonds, that is, by apostolic succession and a valid Eucharist, and are true particular Churches."

"Therefore, these separated Churches and communities as such...have by no means been deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation.

For the spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church."

IV Unicity and Unity of the Church, 17

So now Messrs. O'Neill, McDonnell and Walsh, it might be more in your line to investigate real crime rather than perceived crime and do the jobs the Irish State pays you to do rather than being kept in the pocket of Fr White.

And be careful of who you name because libel and slander laws do exist for a reason....pity you are not so quick to enforce them!!!

O Jesus, our great High Priest, Hear my humble prayers on behalf of your priest, Father [N].Give him a deep faitha bright and firm hopeand a burning lovewhich will ever increasein the course of his priestly life.

In his loneliness, comfort himIn his sorrows, strengthen him

In his frustrations, point out to himthat it is through suffering that the soul is purified,and show him that he is needed by the Church,he is needed by souls,he is needed for the work of redemption.

O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests,

take to your heart your son who is close to you because of his priestly ordination,and because of the power which he has received to carry on the work of Christ in a world which needs him so much.

Be his comfort, be his joy, be his strength,and especially help himto live and to defend the ideals of consecrated celibacy.
